title: The generalized multiplicative model for viability selection at multiple loci.
abstract: Selection due to differential viability is studied in an n-locus two-allele model using a set indexation that allows the simplicity of the one-locus two-allele model to be carried to multi-locus models. The existence condition is analyzed for polymorphic equilibria with linkage equilibrium: Robbins' equilibria. The local stability condition is given for the Robbins' equilibria on the boundaries in the generalized non-epistatic selection regimes of Karlin and Liberman (1979). These generalized non-epistatic regimes include the additive selection model, the multiplicative selection model and the multiplicative interaction model, and their symmetric versions cover all the symmetric viability models.
